They really know their stuff in here. I gave the counter guy sizes and specs for boots, (8 inch, no steel toe, wide, insulated) and he went in the back and came out with every pair that met the requirements. I gave him measurements for arctic bibs, again he brought out all the pairs that would fit. They are really pricing lower these days. The Carhart bibs I bought cost the same as the best deal I could find online through Midwest! And the boots were $40 off! I was floored, their pricing was really competitive. Great selection of work gloves, hats, long johns, everything you need to keep your buttcheeks from being frostbitten while you're killing yourself fixing people's sh*t on the roof, in January, in Chicago. You're not too bright in the first place, are you. read more

Nice local store in Chicago with a very large selection of workwear and quality boots. Great to see they have reputable brands like Thorogood, Timberland Pro, KEEN, Rocky, Ariat, and much more. For winter their fleece-lined pants, warm shoes, and super nice Carthartt jackets stood out! I was also delighted to learn they will help hem pants to your height if they are too long and have great service in-store. Check them out! read more

See all

Return policy is extremely strict. I bought a jacket there and the zipper broke within two weeks. Took it in to return and was no longer able to return it without having to go through an extensive return process. The manager wasn't understanding at all and not at all empathetic toward the situation. If you do decide to buy a Carhart jacket there be aware that it could possibly be defected or maybe even a knock off read more

Good service ,excellent selection ,friendly staff,always enjoy shopping at rasenicks.Been a stasified customer for 30 years.

I always get my stuff from there. Great selection. Quality merchandise. And great value.

Can't say enough good things about Rasenick's in the over 40yrs of going there they have never let me down.

Absolutely the greatest men's workwear store around. No need for mail order. They even make minor tailoring needs available.

I walked in and the person I can only assume is the owner give me and Coworkers attitude every year when walk in to we go pick up shirts and boots coats where not white and noticed that this man is like this with all other people ok f color or some on he assumed doesn't speak English. Once we say or stuff has been paid by our boss his attitude changes. And when I have spent out there of my own pocket he smirks. Horrible hospitality from owner. read more

A shop like this one is indispensable, if you need to try on shoes and boots - or anything - before buying. The selection of footwear and safety equipment is broad, and the staff is helpful, and knowledgeable. When I needed boots and safety equipment to start a new job, this place had what was needed, and got me ready to work, immediately. I recommend it highly. read more

After being disappointed with Work n Gear I went to Rasenick's. This was a great experience. They had everything I needed even off season. I work in a refrigerated warehouse where temps get to around -10 and I needed a new warm coat so I came here and they had all the cold weather gear I needed. My sales person was attentive and the owner was friendly and I had a good time. read more

Staff is beyond helpful and friendly. Prices and selection are great. Such a pleasant experience. So happy to support this small neighborhood business. read more

This isn't just for men's clothing. Rasenick's is working people clothing - women have at least 3 safety toe boots to choose from. I went with composite Timberland's for $125 and 2 pairs of merino wool blend boot socks for $8. I' They have quilted hivis zip up hoodies, coveralls, and knives. If you're looking for work wear, this should be the first stop. m sure you can go online and shop for cheaper prices, but i rather have personal service and shop local. read more

Great selection of worker's clothes, and boots. I came here to get some pants for a halloween costume. The guy that was there was really cool and helped me find what I needed really fast and hemmed them no extra charge! Great customer service good prices and you can shop on their website, Also, if you're not looking for work clothes they also have a lot of stuff for everyday casual wear if you're a simple kinda guy. Nice durable outterwear and boots too. I recommend this place for sure. read more

the best place if your big or tall, and work in the trades.. Large selection of carharts and bibs. read more

This place has a great selection of work clothes, and the prices are very fair considering the top quality brands that they sell. Both my cousin and I were in agreement that this was a great place to find well-made clothing for both work and leisure. We walked in planning on buying a pair of boots, and we ended up with much better boots than we expected (on sale) and about two big bags worth of great clothing. We will definitely be going back whenever we need to stock up. read more

The service here is excellent-- my husband got great help in fitting utility boots for his large, wide feet, and my daughter found the knit cap she wanted-- in July! Great selection of work clothes, boots, gloves, etc., and very good prices. read more

Stopped in the other day and picked up a few things. There prices are maybe a little high but exuberant. I prefer to try things on and know it fits than ordering online. My uncle introduced me to them years ago. My uncle primarily speaks broken English with a heavy Spanish accent and he has never had a problem getting what he needs. read more

They have a big selection of work clothes. The prices are a little high seeing that sears is a half block away and is a lot cheaper. The owners are always there and make it seam like you are bothering them if you ask a question. I bought a pair of overalls there and that night decided I should of bought a bigger pair, of course they wouldn't take them back! All the tags were on them and I had the reciept. Could be a gold mine if it had decent prices and new owners! read more

This place has been here forever!! And my ex boyfriend has worked here forever as well!! Since my daddy has a "long torso" I've always shopped here for bdays and xmas, etc. They have good prices and the staff is very helpful when it comes to finding stuff dad will like. They carry some pretty BIG sizes here! read more

Great gear. I was looking for 2 buckle boots to go over work boots & they have 'em. To much good stuff to pass up.

Been coming here for a couple year's now and am always happy with them. There are reviews here complaining about the pricing, but if you need quality work gear then you know your going to have to pay for it. Besides that yes, you probably can get it cheaper on Amazon if you wanted. Personally, if I'm going to drop $200+ on a quality pair of work boots then I want to see them, try them on, and see similar options in one stop. I'm not a hipster running up and down the Blue line trying to compare prices with the Carhartt store in Wicker Park. Like many of you I need something to get the job done and I need it now! Besides that the staff is always available and the most helpful people I've run into in retail establishment in a long time. They're an old school store providing old school service to workers who work in old school jobs. I'm happy that places like this still exist and look forward to continuing to support them! read more

Great service and good prices. Very competitive on work boots and clothing. Parking is easy. Meter of course. Looks like they only carry name brand which is a good thing. They carry all my work related clothing there. Def will be back. read more

Been going here for my belts and winter wear, after unsuccessfully shopping at both Kohl's and Macy's. If you are a Man with any kind of size and need a belt size 36 or up, or boots that will withstand your active life-style or work-style - this is the place to go. Great selection of goods, great people and great prices! read more

I am so glad we found this store, there are so few left like it left. We drove from Evanston to equip my daughter for an internship clearing wetlands in North Carolina. We only had a few days to purchase the items on a very specific gear list, and Rasenicks had everything she needed at reasonable prices. Plus the salespeople were super nice and helpful. read more

Nice store with a lot selection of work clothes and a lot of staples for men. Socks, stocking caps, shirts, work pants, boots. And on top of that, a lot of the products are made in USA. Average prices, but look for the clearance or sale items. Frequent shopper. read more

Well worth the drive, wherever you are! Great selection of work gear, including hard-to-find specialty shoes. Mostly, if not all, made in America. When I had an issue with my purchase, the current generational family figurehead behind the counter (after 100 years of Rasenick family business) did everything he could to fix the problem, eventually offering a complete replacement. And this despite my inability to find my receipt anywhere. Just great personal service and what's obviously a century-long tradition of standing behind their product. Highly recommended! read more

Well run store. Good prices. Quality workwear. Like the fact they carry footwear over size 12. Hard to find.

After shopping online and sending back several boots bc the fit was wrong, I decided to visit Rasenick's to try some on. The gentleman in charge spent 45 minutes with me discussing the different boots they sell. I tried on 4 pairs in different widths and sizes. I went with a solid pair of Carolina boots. If you're shopping for boots and are in the Chicago area, most certainly visit this store. read more

I was a 15+ year customer until recently. I've brought numerous customers here over the years, not to mention all the money I spend there too. About 6 months ago I spent 200+ on some clothes. Well I got sick and lost like 40 pounds and due to illness , I couldn't fit into clothes anymore. Mind you tags still on . Never worn. I couldn't make it to store to return within the 30 day time. I was cool with what I spent, in store credit. I was told I could only get 100$????? Needless to say they lost a long time costumer. Along with people I've brought in over the years. All my work gear will be bought at sears, which is much cheaper and off amazon . read more

Very unprofessional and rude sales people. They seem to act as though your attempt to purchase from the store is an inconvenience to them or a bother. Isaac's attitude is arrogant and rather condescending. After my last visit I have told my coworkers to not go and how they have lost my business for ever. I work too hard for my money to get an attitude when I spend it anywhere. read more

Working guys clothes. They have the best selection of Carhartt clothes around. Great clothes for the guy who works outside all winter or likes to hunt. Their prices are retail, & rarely have closeouts or specials, but they do have good quality stuff @ fair prices. read more

Great store. Jammed-packed with lots of selection. Really caters to working guys. A couple of guys (Isaac and Rich) are the best and helpful. The owner seems to be involved and tries to make everyone feel at home. I'd recommend this to all my friends. read more

Great service & selection of industrial clothing, Independently owned small business.

Racism still exists! I have been a long and loyal customer to Rasenick's and I have never ever been treated the way I have been treated today. Today being January 16, 2016 I was looking for some clothes to purchase, maybe some Carhart vest but they didn't have the size I needed. So I started looking at some steel toe shoes that I wanted to buy and the sales person that was there, an older gentleman, rather not a gentleman, ball headed with glasses , was hounding me like if I was going to steal something, or like I wasn't a Long time paying customer. I understand it was almost 5 o'clock and they were ready to close but I would think they wanted to make a sale on a pair of steel toe shoes / boots rather than try to kick me out and leave five minutes later after making the sale. Maybe he was intimidated by my size and my nationality which is Mexican and I am 6'3" tall. I was trying on a pair of shoes and he asked me are you going to still try on those shoes because we close at 5 o'clock and I was like yes I would like to try on the shoes to possibly purchase I told him don't you guys want to make a sale and he said no we don't need to make a sale we need to get out of here at 5 o'clock, and I said wow you don't want to make a sale before closing up and he says it doesn't matter to us if we make a sale or not!!!! I was totally shocked and normally I am not treated with such disrespect or racism but obviously my size didn't intimidate him, which I didn't try to do I was just there to buy some shoes and some other Carhart stuff. But they have lost a long time customer, who and which owns a construction company and does multiple subcontracting out for other companies. I have always bought or recommended my workers the store to buy their work gear, but I will no longer be doing that. Thank you Rasenick's for showing your true colors . I will no longer be shopping here or recommending the store to anyone, especially people of color or other nationalities. Racism still exists!! ........ My name is Peter G. read more
